STOVE-HOOD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 499,210, dated June 13, 1893. Application filed December 19, 1892. Serial No. 455,689. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPHINE CANAVAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Hoods, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein t-o the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in stove hoods, and has for its object the providing a simple, cheap and durable construction of parts, and providing a hood that shall be so constructed that the cookingv utensils shall be easily accessible.

With these ends in view, my invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts, more fully pointed out in the ,specification and claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is

-a perspective view showing the hood applied to a set range. Fig. 2, shows the hood adapted to be applied to an ordinary portable range. K

Like figures of reference indicate like parts Wherever they occur.

In the drawings 2 represents an ordinary range or stove, provided with a stove pipe 3. At the required distance above the top o f the stove or range, is secured the stove hood 4, which consists in the present case of the telescopic sliding plates 5, 6, and the fixed plate 7. These plates when not in use, can be pushed back out of the way so that the entire top of the stove or range is free. In order to give stiffness to the plates 5, 6, and 7, a depending iange is formed on each respectively; and at the same time said iianges serve as a guide, preventing the plates from any side movement. The top of the plates is provided with slots, 8 through which pass securing bolts 9. The slots are so arranged that those of one plate do not register with those of the other, so as to prevent the escape of the fume as much as possible.

In the form shown in Fig. 1 the fumes are collected by the hood, and by reason of the draft which is created, asis common in such ranges, the fumes are drawn up into the chimney in the usual manner.

l Where my invention is to be applied to an 5o back of the funnel is carried down to a point nearly reaching the stove top, in order to incre perfectly convey the fumes to the funnel, I

'have shown the funnel exit pipe 12, as entering the ordinary stove pipe by an elbow, but if desired it may be conveyed to the chimney direct. The length of pipe is to be suited to the necessities of the case and the strength of the draft. Suitable handles 13 are secured to the plate 5, so that it may be easily manipulated. A di'iculty which is common to stove hoods now in use is that the cooking utensils can not be readily reached and said hoods are in the way if they are in any wise a fixture, and if made to swing out of the usual way they are likely to become loose and require constant adjustment. By supporting the hood as described by me, these difficulties are obviated, and being removed from contactfwith thehighly-heated parts of the stove or range can be handled more comfortably, and further without the likelihood of the plates becoming warped, which is a difficulty com mon to those hoods resting upon the stove. Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and 'desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl p l. In combination with a stove, a hood c'omposed of telescopic plates supporting each other, provided with slot-s, adjusting bolts, whereby said. plates are secured to each other, said hood being supported above the stove so as vto collect the fumes, but disconnected from the heated surface of the stove whereby the warping of the plates is prevented and an exit adapted to convey the fumes to the chimney substantially as and for the purposes described.
